Todd Cantwell’s first-half penalty clinched Blackburn a 1-0 victory over Leeds at Ewood Park as Daniel Farke’s side missed out on the chance to return to the top of the Championship. Sheffield United’s defeat of Sunderland a day earlier meant Leeds came into this clash in second spot.

Centre-back Joe Rodon said sorry to Leeds United's travelling fans after their below-par performance against Blackburn Rovers. Daniel Farke's side struggled to get going in Lancashire in front of 7,000 plus supporters and suffered a third league defeat of the season.

Blackburn midfielder Todd Cantwell has described Rangers as a ‘special club’ as he refused to rule out returning to Ibrox one day. The 26-year-old moved to Rangers in January 2023, and he had a rollercoaster 18 months with the Glasgow outfit, with the high point coming as they won the League Cup.
